[Content warning: Many personal headcanons, but the general plot won't change. The characters belong to miHoYo; any OOC behavior is on me.] When she woke up, Xu Jia discovered she'd transmigrated into the world of Teyvat. Or rather, someone had tricked her into coming to Teyvat. A glittering Vision at her side. Look, it's a Geo Vision, just like the Lord of Geo's! A five-star weapon in hand, the Moonlit Drumbeat. She can give advice to adventurers and take on monsters and commissions. She's a new recruit at the Liyue Adventurers' Guild, already famous throughout the city, but there's something a little odd about her. That's right, Xu Jia came clean: she's a perfectly normal, completely obsessed Rex Lapis fan. Her room is full of Rex Lapis figurines. On the continent of Teyvat, where most Vision holders achieve great things, Xu Jia didn't choose to become an adventurer or work for the Qixing. Instead, she struck out on her own and started making and selling Rex Lapis figurines. Why? Because she'd already tried the first two options and failed at both. For a hardcore grinder and big spender like Xu Jia, it was a total disaster. On her first day in Teyvat, she went to the Adventurers' Guild to take a commission. It wasn't some flashy, badass monster-slaying quest. She had to pick a hundred freshly bloomed Sweet Flowers. P.S. They have to contain elemental energy, dear! Xu Jia: ...How is it that I have no defense against this customer-service voice? Xu Jia: Hey, I'm a Vision holder, Miss Katheryne. Katheryne: Yes, this commission is perfect for you. To the stars and the abyss! Xu Jia: ???? Anyone can pick Sweet Flowers. Katheryne: It says here that they need to contain elemental energy. Only people with Visions can use elemental sight to tell whether an item has elemental energy. Doesn't that make you the perfect person for the job? Xu Jia: ... They say every beginning is difficult, but Xu Jia discovered that the whole process was just as hard. Her later commissions were all trivial chores, and what made her even angrier was that they didn't even reward Primogems, just a few Mora. Hey, are you trying to fob me off with beggar's alms? How long will it take me to get anywhere at this rate? Working for the Qixing? No way. She's holding a five-star weapon of unknown origin, the Moonlit Drumbeat, and the Qixing have already got their eyes on her. If she starts acting weird on top of that, she'll end up in Liyue's jail for sure. No, no, no. After two disastrous attempts, Xu Jia angrily decided to sell Rex Lapis figurines and merchandise. It's just making money, right? She can do that! But the first step of starting a business stumped her: how could she get official licensing? Then, just by chance, the blond Traveler arrived in Liyue and gave her a brilliant idea. The protagonist transmigrated before the Traveler arrived in Liyue. She made a cameo earlier in the story. Sheng Yangche, a superpowered individual who traveled through numerous worlds to study the five senses and humanity, accidentally fell into Liyue in Teyvat during a transmigration mishap. At that time, Liyue was still a barren land. The Lord of Geo had yet to establish it as one of the seven nations of the mortal realm, and the human tribes were seeking the protection of powerful demon gods. Sheng Yangche had planned to hide her identity, pass herself off as an ordinary person, and continue her research on the five senses among the people. Unexpectedly, the badly wounded girl she happened to save turned out to be the guardian demon god of a human tribe. The demon god's name was Shalges. She told Sheng Yangche that she had brought her people here to migrate, only to be ambushed by another demon god, and that she was already beyond saving. Shalges was at death's door, her life nearly over, yet she still worried about her human subjects out in the world. She also feared that the tremendous elemental surge caused by her death would harm them. With no other choice, she transferred all her divine power to Sheng Yangche. From that moment on, Sheng Yangche became the demon god Shalges. And just like that, Sheng Yangche became a mother with no pain or warning, inexplicably saddled with a huge burden. She even wanted to explode on the spot, but what could she do? She still had research to work on, but she didn't want to raise subjects. Which demon god in Liyue could take Shalges's tribe off her hands? To get rid of this hot potato, and considering the situation in Liyue at the time, Sheng Yangche came up with a plan: any demon god who could defeat her could have her territory and people. As soon as the word got out, countless demon gods flocked to challenge her. After asking around, they were stunned. Good grief, Shalges, you're absurdly weak! What kind of nobody demon god can bully you like that? Sheng Yangche couldn't help complaining. As a demon god whose authority was control over the seven senses, Shalges had never been good at fighting. Among the demon gods who controlled water, she was at the weakest end of the spectrum. No wonder someone had beaten her to death. But the other demon gods didn't know that the Shalges before them was no longer the same weak demon god as before. She was Sheng Yangche, capable of both fighting and research. As a visitor from another world, she'd already possessed considerable combat strength, and receiving the demon god's power had made her far stronger. Out of a sense of responsibility toward the human people, Sheng Yangche utterly crushed the demon gods who came looking for a beating. Before long, she'd made a name for herself. The demon gods she'd beaten senseless thought in terror, When did this demon god, timid as a quail, get so strong? Afraid Shalges would silence them, they ceded their territories to secure their safety. By the time Sheng Yangche realized what was happening, she already controlled half the land north of Liyue and had truly become a guardian demon god ruling over one side. Hey, that wasn't what I meant! Now I can't even run away, Sheng Yangche thought miserably. Just then, Morax, the powerful Geo Archon on the other side of Liyue, came to see Sheng Yangche with a contract. "Are you willing to enter into a contract with me and protect the land of Liyue together?" Sheng Yangche: No problem, no problem. You can have the territory and the people. I just want to retire to the sidelines, focus on my research into the five senses, and find a chance to run away. And so the Seven-Senses Demon God Shalges smoothly joined the Lord of Geo's side, beginning a research career that ended before it even started. Reader advisory: Many personal headcanons, and I have my own interpretation of the plot. The protagonist survives the Archon War. Later, she turns to research and studies at the Akademiya. "This is the Traveling Together Through the World radio show. I'm your host, Fu Yuan, here to keep you company through the night. I'm happy we can meet over the airwaves. Perhaps we're close by, perhaps we're gazing at each other across the water, but we're lucky to have met over the radio. Take your time thinking, take your time speaking. I'm here, listening to your voices." "People say memories are the first thing time washes away. Even if the same person forgets everything about the past, when they remember those memories again, they might feel as if they were someone else's experiences. Those memories that have already passed away have been carried who knows how far by the surging river of time. Even the faint traces they leave behind have been washed away, or have faded into nothing." "If you're trapped in a land without wind, then play the song of the high heavens. If you miss friends from the past or scenes from long ago, then treasure them. If you're trapped by past calamities, examine yourself and move forward once more with the current. If you hope to fulfill someone else's wish, then hold firm to your convictions and never forget your original purpose." "Welcome back to the Traveling Together Through the World radio show. The night is still young, and there's plenty of time to say what you'd like..." The Traveling Together Through the World radio show was built on the technology of the Akasha Terminal, then separated from it and developed independently. It has tens of thousands of listeners across the seven nations of the mortal realm. It goes on air every night at eleven sharp, and the steady, pleasant voice of its host and creator, Xie Fuyuan, has become a comfort to the many people in Teyvat who can't sleep. People who hear him over the airwaves know only that he's a radio host. No one knows where he came from. Even The Steambird has no idea how to find him. He's a legend in the hearts of countless people, especially in Sumeru. Xie Fuyuan, a Sumeru native with Liyue ancestry, was a legend at the Sumeru Akademiya. As a child, he scored so highly that he entered the Vahumana school of the Akademiya to study alongside students many years older than himself. Whenever Akademiya scholars mentioned Xie Fuyuan, they never spared their praise. Everyone expected his graduation thesis to be astonishing, and believed that it would make him a promising successor to the sage of the Haravatat school. Instead, Xie Fuyuan submitted a thesis on Liyue adeptal arts. The thesis devoted a great deal of space to describing the various kinds of adeptal arts in Liyue and how they were used. It was indeed astonishing, but it was completely beside the point, and there was no way to verify whether any of it was true. Even the people of Liyue couldn't say for sure whether the adepti existed, much less whether their arts did. And so Xie Fuyuan lost his chance at the sage's seat. Everyone felt sorry for him, but he himself didn't care at all and left the Akademiya without a fuss. The unverifiable thesis was sealed away in the Sumeru Akademiya archives. Only Xie Fuyuan himself knew that the adeptal arts described in it were real, and that he had once used them himself. No one knew that in his previous life, Xie Fuyuan had been one of Liyue's adepti, the Auspicious Lord of the Sea of Clouds. Whether heaven took pity on him or fate had simply arranged it, he was reincarnated as a human. He lost his adeptal arts and no longer had to protect Liyue, but gained a peaceful life instead. Yet Xie Fuyuan always felt that something was missing. To him, the memories from his past life as the Auspicious Lord of the Sea of Clouds felt like someone else's experiences. They left him unmoved. As he traveled across the continent, he heard the innermost thoughts of countless people. Some were lost in life and tossed and turned sleeplessly at night. Others had lost faith in life after one setback too many. All of it moved Fu Yuan. By chance, he met the famous adventurer Alice and learned from her about the secret of radio shows in other worlds. It turned out that in other worlds, people also stayed awake at night over all sorts of worries, and the so-called radio shows helped ease their troubles. At the same time, a plan took shape in Xie Fuyuan's mind... The shared open-world game "Codename: Shattered Half-Book" is a game for all of humanity, like a nightmare projected into everyone's minds and shared by all. Unlike most games, however, only a small number of people can preserve their complete memories under the control of the "Main God." No one can leave this game world unless they clear it or die in it. The ultimate cost of the Main God's game is the destruction or reconstruction of the rules. In the 24th century of the Cloud Calendar, technology advanced rapidly, and humanity's development of "Main God: Space Seven" grew even more extensive. As their exploration of the space deepened, everything about the Main God's mystery was revealed to the world. The First Pathfinder was horrified to discover that, through "Main God: Space Seven," they could see a projected world within the void, and that it was on the verge of breaking apart. The projected world and the real world were closely connected. If the projected world collapsed, the real world linked to it would also be destroyed. "What makes a world wondrous? What changes its rules?" This was the problem the Main God left to everyone. A world that achieved "order" was its beautiful dream, while the collapse of everything was its nightmare. But even a nightmare could hold the key to breaking the deadlock. The First Pathfinder, who held the future of all humanity in their hands, turned the projected world into the shared open-world game "Codename: Shattered Half-Book" and deployed the projected world's advanced artificial intelligence, "TEAM," across the world. "Would you like to become an executor of the rules?" "The World System TEAM is at your service. The HR program has now begun. Players, please prepare yourselves. Everything here will overturn your existing understanding. Don't try to explain this world with common sense." "The game begins now." Theme: Build from the ground up through hard work, and become your best self.
